The Louisville Cardinals are ready for their rematch against NC State

The Louisville Cardinals are ready for their rematch against NC State. The two squads met back on Valentines Day with the Wolfpack coming into the YUM Center and coming out with the 74-65 victory. The win is largely credited with being the thing that jump started the Pack. The Wolfpack are in the Sweet 16 following a shocking upset of the top seed in the East, Villanova 71-68. The win improves NC State’s overall record to 22-13.

On the other hand, Louisville is now 26-8, following two straight wins in the NCAA Tournament, the latest coming last Sunday when the Cards knocked off Northern Iowa 66-53. The Cardinals say they know what they did wrong in their original meeting against the Pack, and look forward to a little payback. Friday’s game can been seen on TBS with a tipoff of 7:37pm ET.
